A Metairie woman has been arrested and booked with insurance fraud after an investigation by the State Police. Investigators with the State Police Insurance Fraud and Auto Theft Unit received a complaint in March from Progressive Insurance in connection with a claim made by Angela Bodenheimer, according to Trooper Melissa Matey, spokeswoman for the department.

They determined that Bodenheimer, 49, was involved in a crash on June 5, 2008. Although she was employed by a Metairie insurance agency, her vehicle was uninsured, Matey said.

Bodenheimer is accused of using a company computer laptop computer to obtain a policy through Progressive after the crash, Matey said. Investigators said she then filed a claim to repair her damaged vehicle.

Bodenheimer, of 705 Sadie Ave., was booked with one count of insurance fraud Friday at the JeffersonParishCorrectionalCenter in Gretna. She was released the same day on a $5,000 bond. She could not be reached for comment Monday.
